The holiday season is in full swing and that means it’s okay to eat All. Of. The. Cookies. While the tradition of making your own is sweet, there are many North Fork bakeries, markets and home bakers that do the work for you. Here are some of our go-to spots across the North Fork and what cookies we’re ordering at each.
- Gingerbread | Gingerbread University
This kind of cookie isn’t just for decorating, the gingerbread at Gingerbread University is delicious. Insider’s tip: ask for a “brokens bag” so you can snack on cookie bites while making some edible art.
5768 NY-25A, Wading River
2. Mantecaditos | Bori Bakes
These Puerto Rican shortbread cookies are sweet but not too sweet and perfectly buttery. Our favorite is the guava, adding a nice balance in texture to the shortbread.

3. Snickerdoodle cookies | Red Velvet At Your Door
Find this dessert truck parked at North Fork events throughout the season and when you do, don’t sleep on the snickerdoodle cookies that can be found in their cookie box.

4. Rainbow cookies | North Fork Flour Shoppe
Also called seven-layer cookies, North Fork Flour Shoppe baker Meghan Saccone soaks her rainbow cookie filling in an amaretto-almond simple syrup giving them a subtle taste of holiday spirit.

Santa called, these are the cookies he wants on Christmas Eve and we can’t say we blame him, as these chocolate chip cookies are utterly irresistible.

6. Chocolate-dipped butter cookies | Junda’s Pastry Crust and Crumbs
The traditional butter cookies dipped in chocolate with sprinkles from Junda’s are the cookie of your childhood only better.

7. Raspberry Linzer cookies | Ali Katz Kitchen
In addition to her incredible chocolate chip cookies, Ali Katz makes the best raspberry Linzer cookies you’ll have. The raspberry jam to cookie ratio is *chef’s kiss.*

8. Pistachio almond cookies | North Fork Baker
Crumbly and nutty in the best of ways so it’s impossible to have just one.
